Project description:Activating macrophage NLRP3 inflammasome can promote excessive inflammation, with severe cell and tissue damage and organ dysfunction. Here, we show that pharmacological or genetic inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDHK) significantly attenuates NLRP3 inflammasome activation in murine and human macrophages and septic mice by lowering caspase-1 cleavage and IL-1beta secretion. Inhibiting PDHK reverses NLRP3 inflammasome-induced metabolic reprogramming, enhances autophagy, promotes mitochondrial fusion over fission, preserves cristae ultrastructure, and attenuates mitochondrial ROS production. The suppressive effect of PDHK inhibition on the NLRP3 inflammasome is independent of its canonical role as a pyruvate dehydrogenase regulator. We suggest that PDHK inhibition improves mitochondrial fitness by reversing NLRP3 inflammasome activation in acutely inflamed macrophages.

Project description:Inflammasomes are multi-protein complexes that control the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1beta. Inflammasomes play an important role in the control of immunity to tumors and infections, and also in autoimmune diseases, but the mechanisms controlling the activation of human inflammasomes are largely unknown. We found that human activated CD4+CD45RO+ memory T-cells specifically suppress P2X7R-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation, without affecting P2X7R-independent NLRP3 or NLRP1 inflammasome activation. The concomitant increase in pro-IL-1β production induced by activated memory T-cells concealed this effect. Priming with IFNβ decreased pro-IL-1β production in addition to NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition and thus unmasked the inhibitory effect on NLRP3 inflammasome activation. IFNβ did not suppress NLRP3 inflammasome activation by acting directly on monocytes. The inhibition of pro-IL-1β production and suppression of NLRP3 inflammasome activation by IFNβ-primed human CD4+CD45RO+ memory T-cells is partly mediated by soluble FasL and is associated with down-regulated P2X7R mRNA expression and reduced response to ATP in monocytes. CD4+CD45RO+ memory T-cells from multiple sclerosis (MS) patients showed a reduced ability to suppress NLRP3 inflammasome activation, however their suppressive ability was recovered following in vivo treatment with IFNβ. Thus, our data demonstrate that human P2X7R-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation is regulated by activated CD4+CD45RO+ memory T cells, and provide new information on the mechanisms mediating the therapeutic effects of IFNβ in MS. Memory T-cells were cultured in the presence of monocytes with and without Interferon-beta, resorted and expression profile was determined

Project description:The NLRP3 inflammasome is linked to sterile and pathogen-dependent inflammation, and its dysregulation underlies many chronic diseases. Mitochondria have been implicated as regulators of NLRP3 inflammasome through multiple mechanisms including generation of mitochondrial ROS. Here we report that mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) complexes I, II, III and V inhibitors all prevent NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Ectopic expression of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NADH dehydrogenase (NDI1) or Ciona intestinalis alternative oxidase (AOX), which can respectively complement the functional loss of mitochondrial complex I or III, without generation of ROS, rescued NLRP3 inflammasome activation in the absence of endogenous mitochondrial complex I or complex III function. Metabolomics revealed phosphocreatine (PCr), which can sustain ATP levels, as a common metabolite that is diminished by mitochondrial ETC inhibitors. PCr depletion decreased ATP levels and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Thus, mitochondrial ETC sustains NLRP3 inflammasome activation through PCr-dependent generation of ATP but a ROS independent mechanism.

Project description:Activation of the NACHT, LRR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome complex is an essential innate immune signalling mechanism. To reveal how NLRP3 inflammasome assembly and activation are controlled, in particular by components of the ubiquitin system, proximity labelling, affinity purification and RNAi screening approaches were performed. Our study provides an intricate time-resolved molecular map of different phases of NLRP3 inflammasome activation. We discovered that ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase 1 (UCH-L1) interacts with the NACHT domain of NLRP3, and downregulation of UCH-L1 decreases pro-IL-1β levels. UCH-L1 chemical inhibition with small molecules interfered with NLRP3 puncta formation and ASC oligomerisation, leading to altered IL-1β cleavage and secretion, particularly in microglia cells, which exhibited elevated UCH-L1 expression as compared to monocytes/macrophages. Altogether, we profiled NLRP3 inflammasome activation dynamics and highlight UCH-L1 as an important modulator of NLRP3-mediated IL-1β production, suggesting that a pharmacological inhibitor of UCH-L1 may decrease inflammation-associated pathologies.

Project description:Inflammasome, activated by pathogen-derived and host-derived danger signals, constitutes a multimolecular signaling complex that serves as a platform for caspase-1 (CASP1) activation and interleukin-1beta (IL1B) maturation. The activation of NLRP3 inflammasome requires two-step signals. The first “priming” signal (Signal 1) enhances gene expression of inflammasome components. The second “activation” signal (Signal 2) promotes the assembly of inflammasome components. Deregulated activation of NLRP3 inflammasome contributes to the pathological processes of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and multiple sclerosis (MS). However, at present, the precise mechanism regulating NLRP3 inflammasome activation and deactivation remains largely unknown. By genome-wide gene expression profiling, we studied the molecular network of NLRP3 inflammasome activation-responsive genes in a human monocyte cell line THP-1 sequentially given two-step signals. We identified the set of 83 NLRP3 inflammasome activation-responsive genes. Among them, we found the NR4A nuclear receptor family NR4A1, NR4A2, and NR4A3, the EGR family EGR1, EGR2, and EGR3, the IkappaB family NFKBIZ, NFKBID, and NFKBIA as a key group of the genes that possibly constitute a negative feedback loop for shutting down inflammation following NLRP3 inflammasome activation. By molecular network analysis, we identified a complex network of NLRP3 inflammasome activation-responsive genes involved in cellular development and death, and immune and inflammatory responses, where transcription factors AP-1, NR4A, and EGR serve as a hub. Thus, NLRP3 inflammasome activation-responsive genes constitute the molecular network composed of a set of negative feedback regulators for prompt resolution of inflammation. To load the Signal 1 (S1), THP-1 cells were incubated for 3 hours in the culture medium with or without inclusion of 0.2 microgram/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS). To load the Signal 2 (S2), they were incubated further for 2 hours in the culture medium with inclusion of 10 microM nigericin sodium salt dissolved in ethanol or the equal v/v% concentration of ethanol (vehicle), followed by processing for microarray analysis on Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (Affymetrix).

Project description:<p><strong>BACKGROUND:</strong> Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndrome (CAPS) is an autoinflammatory condition consequence of monoallelic variants in the NLRP3 gene that exacerbate IL-1β production. These variants are gain-of-function, but the exact regulatory mechanism of the NLRP3 CAPS-inflammasome is not well yet understood. It is considered as a hypersensitive inflammasome triggered by cell priming, but patients with CAPS and animal disease models present inflammatory flares in the absence of external triggers.</p><p><strong>OBJECTIVES:</strong> To study the regulation and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in CAPS.</p><p><strong>METHODS:</strong> CAPS derived blood samples and genetically modified macrophages expressing different NLRP3 CAPS-associated variants were used to assess NLRP3 function dissociated from cell priming and cell metabolism.</p><p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> We found that CAPS-associated variants constitutively result in active NLRP3 inflammasomes, that induce a basal cleavage of gasdermin D, IL-18 release and pyroptosis. The constitutive active NLRP3 inflammasome was blocked by MCC950 and was dependent on NLRP3 expression level, being further regulated by deubiquitination. We also showed that activation of NF-κB with lipopolysaccharide or other endogenous host-derived molecules (palmitate, S100A9 or IL-6) further modulated the activation of the NLRP3 CAPS inflammasome and expanded the repertoire of molecules secreted from CAPS macrophages to IL-1β, IL-1α, HMGB1, cystatin B and the P2X7 receptor, identifying novel proteins involved in CAPS pathogenesis. NLRP3 inflammasomes with CAPS associated variants affected the immunometabolism of the myeloid compartment and impaired glycolysis.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSIONS:</strong> These findings demonstrate that NLRP3 CAPS-associated variants form a constitutive active inflammasome that induce basal pyroptosis and IL-18 release without cell priming, suggesting a priming-independent mechanism for the initiation of CAPS flares characterized with a profound affection in the immunometabolism.</p>

Project description:Inhibition of inflammasome and pyroptotic pathways are promising strategies for clinical treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. MCC950, a potent inhibitor of the NLR-family inflammasome pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) protein, has shown encouraging results in animal models for a range of conditions; however, little is known about its off-target effects. We have designed, synthesized and applied a novel photoaffinity alkyne-tagged probe for MCC950 which shows direct engagement with NLRP3 and inhibition of inflammasome activation in macrophages. Affinity-based chemical proteomics in live macrophages identified several potential off-targets, and independent cellular thermal proteomic profiling revealed stabilization of these by MCC950. This is the results of the affinity-based proteomics.
